Richard Bubnowski Design LLC The brackets were completely custom, and they are structural. We did an interlocking joint at the corner in structural lumber and then clad everything in clear cedar.
This modern pergola also relates to a similar detail on the surfboard shed. "It provides screening from the sun, creates interesting shadows, and helps mark the entrance," says Bubnowski. The extended brackets are repeated throughout the exterior.
I'd like to add a small "pergola" thing like this off the south east corner of our house... coming off the end of the porch. Is something like this possible for not a ton of extra $?
